Toyota Universal Diesel & Gas Oil Filter 3/4 X 16 Thread 2L 2L-T 3L 5L B 2B 3B 20R 22R 22R-E 22R-TE 90915-40002

• Universal Application: Compatible with both diesel and gasoline engines using standard 3/4"-16 UNF thread specification
• Integrated Safety Valves: Built-in bypass valve (11-17 psi) prevents oil starvation and anti-drain back valve retains oil in critical engine components during shutdown
• Genuine Toyota Quality: Engineered to meet Toyota's stringent specifications with precision-manufactured construction and OEM-grade filtration media
• Proven Performance: Trusted filtration solution for Toyota's most legendary engines from 1979-1997 production years
• Cost-Effective Protection: Competitive pricing for genuine OEM quality compared to dealership retail pricing

Q: What's included in the package?
A: One (1) genuine Toyota oil filter 90915-40002 with integrated gasket and all internal valve components. Oil drain plug, gasket, and engine oil sold separately.

Q: How difficult is installation?
A: Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable performing basic maintenance. The filter is easily accessible on most applications and requires only a standard oil filter wrench. Allow 15-25 minutes for a complete oil and filter change. The integrated gasket eliminates the need for separate seal installation.

Q: Can this filter be used on both diesel and gasoline engines?
A: Yes, the 90915-40002 is a universal filter designed for Toyota engines with a 3/4"-16 UNF thread specification. This includes both diesel engines (2L, 2L-T, 3L, 5L, B, 2B, 3B) and gasoline engines (20R, 22R, 22R-E, 22R-TE, 3VZ-E, F, 3F). The filtration media and bypass valve settings provide adequate protection for both fuel types.

Q: How does this compare to the 90915-30002 diesel filter?
A: The 90915-30002 uses M24x1.5 metric thread and twin element design specifically for larger diesel engines (1HZ, 1HD-T, 1KZ-TE). The 90915-40002 uses a standard 3/4"-16 thread and a single-element design for smaller displacement diesel and gasoline engines. These filters are NOT interchangeable due to different thread specifications.

Q: Can I use a larger filter on my engine?
A: If clearance permits, the taller 90915-YZZD3 filter (4.1" height vs 3.5") provides additional filtration capacity with the same 3/4"-16 thread. Verify clearance around the filter mounting location before selecting the larger size. Many 22R/22R-E and diesel engine installations have adequate space for the taller filter.

Installation Difficulty: Beginner to Intermediate
Tools Required: Oil filter wrench (77-80mm capacity), oil drain pan, clean rags, funnel
Professional Installation: Not required - suitable for DIY maintenance with basic tools

Maintenance Tips:

• Clean filter mounting surface thoroughly and ensure no old gasket material remains before installation
• Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to new filter gasket before installation for proper sealing
• Hand-tighten filter until gasket contacts mounting surface, then rotate an additional 3/4 turn (do not over-tighten)
• Check for leaks after running engine for 3-5 minutes and retighten if necessary
• Follow Toyota's recommended oil change intervals - typically 3,000-5,000 miles for gasoline engines, 5,000-7,500 miles for diesel applications
• Consider shorter intervals for severe duty including towing, dusty conditions, or frequent short trips

Common Symptoms of Overdue Oil Filter Replacement

• Decreased oil pressure at idle or during operation (bypass valve opening due to restriction)
• Engine oil turns black quickly after oil change (saturated filter unable to remove contaminants)
• Unusual engine noise during cold starts (anti-drain back valve failure allowing oil to drain from passages)
• Increased engine noise or ticking sounds indicating inadequate lubrication
